I must note however, that whilst Nell and May's endings felt very complete and satisfying, I was rather disappointed at Evelyn's. Perhaps it's because I'm a lesbian who really has no time for men, or because I don't fully enjoy the time period in terms of history, but Teddy REALLY got on my nerves. But Teddy aside, I feel like Evelyn's ending really didn't show her development of her character? If anything, it felt like it completely dismissed her entire personality and beliefs.
The main point is that this would have been a 5* book, if only Evelyn's ending wasn't reduced to what it was. However, I would still recommend this book to anyone interested in women's history or WW1.
